As part of Dag van de Componist, Sounding Here hosts a late-night programme at WORM in collaboration with New Music NOW. Expect a festival-in-an-evening with live electronics, audiovisual performances, and DJ sets—moving from concert into afterparty. Sounding Here is an experimental performance series curated by Christine Cornwell and Otto Rissanen, bringing together music, electronics, and performance art in direct interaction with the audience. The lineup features the DoelenEnsemble performing graphic postcard scores, an experimental trio exploring Suprematism, the hauntological cabaret of Soon to Expire, a multidisciplinary solo by YoKolina, and dark techno from Exra.
